Physical Activity and Fitness

• It is important to be concerned with physical activity every day because it is vital to maintaining general health and well-being. Besides enhancing physical fitness, regular physical activity positively affects mental health, improves mood, and reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. Understanding the importance of what you are doing, and being able to design these activities to your best needs, allows you to reap the most benefit from it. You can build one balanced routine that combines different kinds of aerobic exercise, strength training, and flexibility exercises. Maintaining an active lifestyle from a young age builds healthy habits and reinforces your body for better living and quality of life through the years. The base for a healthier, more dynamic future is laid down when one prioritizes physical activity.
